I came across a book a few months ago that i fell in love with.<br />I seldom buy any quilting books but after getting to view the extra images on the connecting threads site i knew i had to have it. <br />It has been beside my bed and is my special treasure to read at night and dream on.<br />Then i find out you have a blog----- talk about win <br /> win.<br />You see, four years i suddenly became very ill with auto immune disease. I was employed part time<br />And very active with working wth the women and <br />Youth at my church and enjoying my family that<br /> includes three wonderful grandboys.<br />As the disease progressed i had to leave my job as the severe and chronic fatigue made it impossible <br />To continue.<br />Sewing has always been a part of my life and so it was a perfect fit to attempt quilting. <br />I started out with applique, crazy me and soon was <br />Unable to hand sew and cut the intricate shapes it required due to pain.<br />I now have a new love-modern quilting and your<br />Designs in your book are projects that i can take <br />My time and realistically expect to finish. I am so excited and i am working on quilts for my grandboys. <br />I work slow, sometimes only an hour or so a day,<br />But i am making tracks and i wanted you to know<br />It has given me something creative to lose myself in, and has helped me to adapt to this big change in my life. <br />I wonder if there are others like myself who could use a creative outlet to help them deal with the<br />Adjustment to living with chronic illness and suc umbing to the depression and isolation that is so much a part of it. I apologize for the lengthy post. It was on my heart but i wanted you to know you have made this difference. God bless and your family.
